I think that this would be a great idea. This part of town would have had numerous heritage buildings that were demolished by the Halifax Explosion. Having a nicely designed stadium in the area with statues and exhibits would be a great way to draw attention to the historic nature of this area. Especially for visitors who might know very little about that Halifax Explosion story. During the excavation, there would likely be numerous artifacts found that could be displayed. Also a nicely designed Stadium would be one more way of showing how Halifax has been rebuilt after the Explosion.
